Opportunities
At NeCoSo we believe our main opportunities are in the field
of 'embedded network connectivity', at the machine side of this next internet
revolution. As embedded data communications specialists with over 30 years of
knowledge and experience in the field of network connectivity we understand the
problems that other companies have when it comes to realizing a network
interface for an existing or new product. The most common problems are:
- Knowledge and experience in the field of network
connectivity is not available within the organization because it is not part
of the core-business.
- Gaining the required knowledge and expertise is a long
and expensive process. And the market is demanding 'network ready' products
on short-term.
- The device's hardware was originally designed to realize
only the required core functionality of the product. The design does not
include the amount of extra processing power and/or memory required for
adding network connectivity.
NeCoSo aims to help her customers in solving these problems by
offering:
- Assistance to their hardware and software engineers for
making the best design decisions and speeding up the development process.
(consultancy)
- Ready-to-use components (hardware and/or software) which
can quickly be integrated into the product or used as standalone accessory
next to the product. (standard design-in solutions)
- Customization of the ready-to-use components, for
situations where the existing components will not do/are not sufficient.
(custom design-in solutions)
- Development of whole new customer specific hardware
and/or software solutions. (turn-key solutions)
The network connectivity problems mentioned above apply for
both existing products and new designs.
Many existing machines and devices have
an economical life-span that reaches beyond that of the quickly evolving
networking technology of today.
Additionally, there is the ever continuing
process of companies defining and using new interfaces and protocols for their
products.
That's why we at NeCoSo believe that today as well as in the years to
come their will always be mix of 'legacy', 'established' and 'emerging' network interfaces
and protocols on the market.
And as a result of that there will be an ever
continuing demand to provide solutions that enable communications between all
these technologies.
Examples of today's 'legacy' technologies:
- RS232/RS485/RS422
- PSTN
- Twinax
- Coax
- Token Ring
- Infra Red (IrDA)
- SMS
- GSM data
- GSM GPRS (2G)
Examples of 'established' technologies:
- Ethernet
- Modbus
- CAN
- Profibus
- USB
- Cable
- ADSL
- GSM UMTS (3G)
- GSM LTE (4G)
- Bluetooth
- ZigBee
- WiFi
- Glass fiber
- NFC
- RFID
- GSM 5G
Examples of 'emerging' or new technologies:
- UWB
- LoRaWAN
- NB-iOT
- LTE-M
- Sigfox
- WiFi-HaLow
Remember, today's emerging technologies are tomorrows
established
technologies ! And will be legacy in a few years to come... |
